14.1.2.18 Cable Extensions
As mentioned before, DO NOT USE standard VGA cables as cable extensions!
(They are NOT connected 1:1, the shielding is different, and at least 3, mostly 4 shield pins are
shortened, which may destroy components in the power supply. At least it will cause malfunc-
tion of the TEM device because of missing signals.)
We offer HD15 1:1 extension cables male/female in many variants, all compatible against
each other. (Additionally we offer 1:1 connected 25 pole cables for the multi-channel piezo
drivers.)
The cables have high quality gold-plated contacts. Therefore, even if you use several cable
extensions in a sequence to achieve a long cable path, there is no increase of noise, electrical
offsets by contact resistance, reduction of performance, caused by the additional connections.
Very often, it is easier, more convenient and safer, to use several short cables, instead of
laying one very long cable through several cable channels from one lab into another, or even
one floor to another, or from one building into another .
The only important thing: You should connect the cables mechanically properly by UNC hex
bolts (which you get in combination with the cables), or by wire straps (see pictures below).
Up to about 30...50 meters path length it works fine without any change. If longer cables are
used (100 meters or even more is no problem), we normally reduce the communication speed.
(There are different variants, please contact us in this case.)

(Halogene-free trailing cables are used in material processing machines or other applications,
in which the cables are moved or are exposed to harsh environment condition, like strong
electromagnetic noise, UV or gamma radiation, mechanical stress, fire restrictions, etc.)
